Hi Sterling, I am like you, I don't like these kinds of changes either, it takes me forever to get used to, sometimes never. I hate it when windows, apple etc. change something. I am not too young myself, and definitely age has something to do with it but, in general, I think human nature resists change.

Yes, I think it is very easy to see new responses. For instance, after I posted my initial post, when I came back to see if there were any responses, it said "one new response" under my title.

And all the new posts are up at top like it used to be.

Thank you so much for your understanding. We felt we needed to go with the newer sleeker styles, and we felt that the entire said had to have some sort of a unifying style.
